[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing good happens driving after midnight for anyone of any age especially on high speed roads.  We did not live close by the school and thus the party neighbourhoods.  Although not a curfew we did ask that if he expected to be home after midnight, he either make arrangements to spend the night with friends or order a large Uber car.  And requested that he let us know by 11:00 pm so that we wouldn't be waiting up.  For those that argue that a kid will be totally on their own as college freshman, that is under very different circumstances.  [b]For the majority of colleges, freshman do not have cars and are roaming the party scene walking or via public transportation. I think the colleges do this deliberately so there is a transition.[/b]  [/quote]  Do you live in the DMV?  My kid does not have a DL so is not driving, we live in DC and he takes the train or bus everywhere he goes.  This is true for all of his friends too, even the ones who do have a DL. Their activities are around the city and they take public transportation.  Some kids don't need a transition because this has always been their norm.

The bottom line, there is no one rule applies in this situation.  Everyone has different circumstances and the choices I make for my family might not be the same as somebody elses and that's OK.  We are all just doing what we think is best for our family.[/quote]
